Setting the bar as high as it could go after a record-breaking 2012 season, "Megatron" is physically stronger, faster and more powerful than any defender who dares to match up against him.

No one is unguardable, but Johnson is as close as one can get it.

Mike Trout

It seems that the only thing LA Angels All-Star outfielder Mike Trout can't do is actually win a league MVP award, because he has finished second in his two full seasons in the majors.

Besides that, though, he has shown to be the total package, crushing balls at the plate, hitting for a high average, stealing bags on the basepaths and playing amazing defense in the field.

Still just 22 years old, it's hard to believe that he hasn't even scratched the surface of what superstar he can become.

Cristiano Ronaldo

Like a few other athletes on this list, Cristiano Ronaldo is someone you either love or hate, because fans rarely have a modest opinion of the Portuguese star.

Although he hasn't had the same success on the international level as when he's playing for Real Madrid, CR7 is a terror on the pitch, placing the ball wherever he wants and making defenders look silly.

Kevin Durant

Kevin Durant and his Oklahoma Thunder teammates may have fallen short on their goal of at least reaching the NBA Finals this year, but that doesn't take away from the individual stats that KD reached.

Winning the league MVP for the first time in his career, Durant proved to have a gear that nearly no one else in the Association has, running off an insane 41 consecutive games of at least 25 points scored.

At 6'9" and a paper-thin 215 pounds, he isn't supposed to do the things that he does—yet he does them on a consistent basis.

Miguel Cabrera

Remember how I mentioned Mike Trout earlier as not being able to win the league MVP?

Yeah, that's because Miguel Cabrera has been in his way the past two seasons, proving to be the best hitter in baseball.

While Miggy might not be the most athletic-looking guy on a baseball field, when he's standing in a batter's box, he's the scariest man on the planet, with the ability to crush a ball to all fields for both power and average.

Peyton Manning

Sure, there are more exciting quarterbacks than Peyton Manning in the league, but when it comes to playing the position, no one does it better.

He might get knocked for struggling in big games, but he's a magician at throwing the football.

LeBron James

Come on, now, who but LeBron James can do the things that he does on the basketball court?

Even with all the pressure and expectations that have been on his shoulders since his sophomore year of high school, he has overcome all the critics to thrust himself into the conversation for greatest of all time.

With a chance to win his third straight title this season, James continues to elevate his game to a level that is unmatched by any other active player, combining speed, strength, vision and mentality that set him apart.

Usain Bolt

When Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt is in a race, he usually wins it.

That's a rare situation for athletes to be in, but Bolt has proved that he's not like other athletes, constantly pushing to compete against himself to break world records and leave no doubt as to who the fastest man in the world is.

With six Olympic gold medals already and the 2016 Games being potentially his last, Bolt is just continuing to write his legacy at this point.
